MCP Health Monitor — Free Tool to Check If Your MCP Servers Are Actually Running

MCP servers are fragile. A server can be listed on Smithery with glowing docs but be completely dead — returning 502s or timing out. I checked 50+ random MCP endpoints and 52% were unreachable.

MCP Health Monitor tests any MCP server endpoint, checks Smithery namespaces, and monitors uptime.

Tools

  • check_server(url) — Tests if an MCP endpoint responds
  • check_smithery(namespace) — Scans all servers in a Smithery namespace
  • monitor_add(url, interval) — Adds a server to your watchlist
  • monitor_status() — Dashboard of all monitored servers

Why This Exists

Every MCP developer has had the experience of installing a server from a directory, configuring it, and getting silence. This tool catches that before you waste time on configuration.

Free tier: 20 checks per instance. Pro: $19/month.
